Sun Aimin declined Boss Zhang's invitation, saying, "Boss Zhang, to be honest, I've been incredibly busy lately and I really can't spare the time to come back and help.
I can't interfere with Wang Gang's decision to stay or go, but if you're interested in changing the head chef, I can help you keep an eye out for a suitable candidate."
Boss Zhang did not force Sun Aimin to do anything. He simply asked where Sun Aimin was working recently, and then asked the finance department to settle Sun Aimin's bill.
He actually listened to Sun Aimin's suggestion. In fact, the hotel kitchen had already installed a surveillance camera, but it couldn't capture every corner.
He immediately arranged for someone to take care of this matter, ensuring that the surveillance could cover the entire kitchen space in 360 degrees without blind spots.
As for Wang Gang, as the hotel's head chef, he had no reason to tamper with the food. But after Sun Aimin's reminder, he felt that he had to be on guard.
So, he asked manager Hao Daqing to send over the list of kitchen staff, and asked his secretary to call the people on the list to the office one by one for private conversations, mainly to talk about Wang Gang's issues.
You don't know until you ask, and you'll be shocked when you ask. It was known in the past that some people in the kitchen were dissatisfied with Wang Gang, but most of the issues were handled by the manager, Hao Daqing, and very few issues could be brought to the attention of the big boss, Hao Daqing.
It was also his own fault that he slacked off when his business was booming and didn't even notice such a big pest in the hotel.
The kitchen staff's complaints about Wang Gang were so varied that Boss Zhang was really surprised.
A waiter who was in charge of serving food said: "He always likes to touch me, and he has also taken advantage of several young women..."
The staff member in charge of kitchen purchasing said: "Now all the purchasing matters are handled by Chef Wang, and he is also the one who handles the billing. We are only responsible for receiving the goods..."
A kitchen helper said: "I have worked in the kitchen for more than ten years. Just because I didn't give Wang Gang any bribes, he demoted me from chef to kitchen helper. If I didn't have elderly parents and young children to support and needed this salary, I would..."
Another staff member complained: "During the last Chinese New Year, I heard you gave everyone red envelopes. Other departments gave 100 yuan, but we only saw 50 yuan. We suspect the rest was pocketed by Wang Gang..."
. . . . . .
Boss Zhang became angrier as he listened. Only after most of the kitchen staff had complained did he ask someone to call Wang Gang over.
Wang Gang was not popular, so everyone was called to the boss's office one by one. After they returned, no one mentioned the reason why the boss did this to him.
When he entered the boss's office, he saw Boss Zhang with a stern face. He hurried over with a servile smile and said cautiously, "Boss, you want to see me?"
Boss Zhang didn't say anything, but threw the secretary's notes directly in Wang Gang's face.
Wang Gang felt pain from being hit, but he held back his voice. He bent down to pick up the notebook on the ground and began to read it. Every entry was a record of his numerous evil deeds.
Wang Gang trembled and said, "Boss, this, this is all untrue. It's all slander from others. I, I get it. They must be jealous of my high position and high income, so they made up this story out of thin air. Their goal is to kick me out of our hotel!"
Boss Zhang has been in business for so long, he's seen all sorts of people. He sneered, "It's fine if one or two people have a problem with you, but so many people, all jealous and slandering you? Tell me, should I trust everyone else, or just you?"
Wang Gang hurriedly said, "Boss, you have to trust me! Although I haven't made any big achievements this year, I've been doing things according to the rules and haven't made any mistakes..."
Boss Zhang replied, "Nothing went wrong. Do you know how much I lost by messing up that banquet you just made? And then there's the procurement issue. There's no such thing as a profit, so you made a lot of money from it, right?"
Seeing Wang Gang's embarrassed expression, Boss Zhang continued, "I'll have the finance staff sort out the documents you submitted and contact the suppliers to find out if there were any kickbacks. We'll know for sure once we check.
If the amount is small, it's fine. But if it's huge, do you know what the consequences will be? Losing money is a small matter, but if you're not careful, you could end up in jail."
After being tricked by Boss Zhang, Wang Gang began to get scared and begged for mercy from Boss Zhang with tears in his eyes: "Boss, I, I was wrong, can you please forgive me this time?
My family is in financial difficulty and relies on me to support them. If I lose this job, my parents, wife, and children will be left with nothing to live on..."
Boss Zhang said slowly, "You should have a rough idea of how much you've earned from me this year, right?
Not to mention other income, the income from wages alone is equivalent to the wages of several workers in the factory.
Others can live well with three to five hundred yuan a month, but you can't even afford to live with fifteen hundred yuan a month?
I'm not a philanthropist, and I can't afford to support a giant like you. If you're smart, return all the kickbacks you took and leave. I'll even leave the head chef position vacant for a while, but I won't let you continue to mess with my business."
He turned to his secretary and said, "Watch him pack up and go through the resignation procedures. Notice that starting tomorrow, there will be no Chef Wang here..."
The secretary immediately responded, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I'll do it right away. Wang Gang, let's go. We are all employees, don't make it difficult for me..."
Just like that, Wang Gang suddenly turned from a successful chef into an unemployed vagrant.
He just hated him, but he didn't know who to hate. He could have gone after those guys who had been telling tales about him, one or two at a time, but in the end, not a single person in the hotel who knew him had a good word to say about him.
